cwsox Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 In that yesterday we had posts - from one poster - advocating violence against people because they are gay, the remembrance of Mathew Shepherd is very ironic right now. This is an email that I received from another list. It could have been from an Old Catholic Church list, a United Church of Christ list, a Religious Coalition list, or any of the many church and ecumenical lists to which I belong. The stance of the Scriptures is against violence. Matthew Shepard was savagely beaten five years ago tonight because he was gay. He died six days later, on 12 October 1998. At the trial of one of his killers, his father Dennis gave a courtroom statement that provided a moving denunciation of such violence and that provided witness to the pricelessness of the life that had been lost. That moving statement can be found at Words by Mathew's father at the sentencing of his son's killers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowerCaseRepublican Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 I was gonna post the irony factor about Windsock advocating violence against gays and the Matthew Shepard case yesterday. It's sick that those two guys pretended to be gay so they go lure them into their truck where they pistol whipped, beat, robbed and then tied him to a fence in sub-zero temperatures where they left him to die. Windsock, is that what you want to do to gay people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreye Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 The only people that would advocate such violence are those that fear their own sexual preference. You know, I used to hate "f**gots," but when it came close to me (a close friend informed me he was/is gay), I sat down with myself and had a heart to heart. What good does it do to hate anyone? It just eats me up and hurts me. It really does no good to hate, especially to advocate violence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITs absolutely amazing to me that gays will use someones death to support their bulls*** agenda. They dont give a f*** about that mans pain and death. They want to use him to make people feel sorry for THEM. Its f***ing pathetic.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may indeed be a tendency to martyr Matthew Shephard in many gay activist groups, but there's also a good reason. This one got publicity, and it happens more than most people would like to know about it. Knowledge is a weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1549 Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 I think reasoning behind a murder does count for something. If somebody was shot in an argument over money its terrible, but I think it is more terrible when a black man is dragged behind a truck, or in this case a gay guy is beaten to death.
